WALKING LUNGE

The Walking Lunge is a great exercise to work your glutes, hamstrings and quads.  And, it can be preformed almost anywhere. I do walking lunges in my backyard!

WALKING LUNGE

1. Stand upright, feet together.
2. Take a controlled step forward with your left leg.
3. Lower hips toward the floor and bend both knees (almost at 90 degree angles). The back knee should come close but never touch the ground. Your front knee should be directly over the ankle and the back knee should be pointing down toward the floor.
4. Push off with your right foot and bring it forward to starting position. This completes one rep.
5. Next step forward and repeat with the right leg.
6. Do two to three sets of 15 reps.

Once you feel comfortable, you can up the intensity of this exercise by adding weights or a weighted vest.
